Matters When They Count
In my class there lies a girl who quite literally lies down on her desk as she sleeps.
Mother would scold me for lying.
She said I should start changing my habits from school.
The girl sleeps on our desks
”I’d appreciate it if you at least put your foot on your side."
"zzz"
"Oi,the teacher is coming. I have to put my phone back inside."
"Oh Qb you’re such a …qt”
This rat! Even in exam season.
”I’m being serious if-"
"agzzz” Her drool is going towards the cubby.
That’s it I have to be the change.
If she’s that asleep then its not like I’m hurting her.
”A one and a two.”
With a D+ in PE I was able to eventually with time, swiftly push her down from my desk and back into her seat.
Shes a bit folded though.
Interpretive art?
Pretzel pose?
Yoga?
”It’s like she takes coma pills or something…”
As my hands her about to go back into a neutral position-
”You! Don’t you know its anti bullying week!"
"zzz” Went the girl.
Quick diffuse!
”Sleeping on ones back is horrible for your lungs and those with chronic conditions are probably proven to have trouble succeeding in school and careers.
As a classmate and student of this esteemed academy I love so much,
I’d hate for my classmates suffering to burden our establishment’s ranking fur-.”
Crap!
”Further? How do you know that? You go on that gossip board do you?"
"I dont go to ‘Academy Atrocities’-“
‘Snitch~’ The class decided to join in the school’s choir tradition at that very moment.
My social status took a break as I am embedded for defamation.
My detention is community service.
Yet what is the punishment is serving fellow man?
Who I’m I kidding?
”So the recycles go there and the ‘tainted recycles’ go…there?"
"Yep! Now we have a sepreate process for cleanign the “second trash can”, say what are you here for."
"You first."
"Tax fraud. Let’s say my leg was broken for the pass three decades. Scammed those goons out of Millions.
Millions, they wouldn’t have found out if it wasnt for that snitch while I was laundering the money.
Jokes on him now he’s just as broke. So what you did, it can’t have been as bad?"
"Ah well…”
I explained my crime, already prepared for my condemnation.
”SNIIIIIIITCH!”
This was going to be a long month…
The sunset was so beautiful,if only I had the time to savour it.
I have to get home before it gets too dark.
”What’s wrong kid."
"Neko Gata stuck in the tree."
"Can’t you get you’re sister to-”
Oh…
Her sister was perched up a tree holding the cat in her arms.
The cat was certainly safe with her grip but the climb seemed to tire her out.
”You’re not even a bit worried about her?"
"Of course I am but my sister is the best.”
Best at being the bane of my existence.
Well it’s not like I’m not public servant after all.
”Hup two!”
Three four…I for sure left the floor.
Five six,Near the top of the sticks.
Seven eight,I’m too late.
Against all odds I began slipping through the wooden pillar.
”Ahhhhhh!!!"
"Zzz”
Just how does she-never mind that I’m about to fall.
”Be careful!” Cried the child.
”I will,make sure youre far away from me in case I do alright.” I made sure to make it clear I wasnt asking her.
”R-right.”
The sadness of a child sent enough shame to unleash a rage inside me.
”AHHHHH!”
Like a squirrel I ran up the tree to the other mammal(s)
“Come here kitty I got you,and you get up!” Snap.
Ah,I always wanted to sky dive.
Didn’t expect it like this.
